Life Will Be the Death of Me : ... and you too!

Handler, Chelsea. (Author). Cloud. (Added Author). Handler, Chelsea. (Cast).

-- In a haze of vape smoke on a rare windy night in L.A. in the fall of 2016, Chelsea Handler daydreams about what life will be like with a woman in the White House. And then Donald Trump happens. In a torpor of despair, she decides that she's had enough of the privileged bubble she's lived in'a bubble within a bubble'and that it's time to make some changes, both in her personal life and in the world at large.At home, she embarks on a year of self-sufficiency'learning how to work the remote, how to pick up dog shit, where to find the toaster. She meets her match in an earnest, brainy psychiatrist and enters into therapy, prepared to do the heavy lifting required to look within and make sense of a childhood marked by love and loss and to figure out why people are afraid of her. She becomes politically active'finding her voice as an advocate for change, having difficult conversations, and energizing her base. In the process, she develops a healthy fixation on Special Counsel Robert Mueller and, through unflinching self-reflection and psychological excavation, unearths some glittering truths that light up the road ahead.Thrillingly honest, insightful, and deeply, darkly funny, Chelsea Handler's memoir keeps readers laughing, even as it inspires us to look within and ask ourselves what really matters in our own lives.

Life Will Be the Death of Me : ... and You Too!


#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "This will be one of your favorite books of all time. Through her intensely vulnerable, honest, and hilarious reflections, Chelsea shows us more than just her insides. She shows us ourselves."--Amy Schumer Don't miss Chelsea Handler's new Netflix stand-up special, Revolution, now streaming! In the wake of President Donald Trump's election, feeling that her country--her life--has become unrecognizable, Chelsea Handler has an awakening. Fed up with the privileged bubble she's lived in, she decides it's time to make some changes. She embarks on a year of self-sufficiency and goes into therapy, prepared to do the heavy lifting required to make sense of a childhood that ended abruptly with the death of her brother. She meets her match in an earnest, nerdy shrink who dissects her anger and gets her to confront her fear of intimacy. Out in the world, she channels her outrage into social action and finds her voice as an advocate for change. With the love and support of an eccentric cast of friends, assistants, family members (alive and dead), and a pair of emotionally withholding rescue dogs, Chelsea digs deep into the trauma that shaped her inimitable worldview and unearths some glittering truths that light up the road ahead. Thrillingly honest and insightful, Chelsea Handler's darkly comic memoir is also a clever and sly work of inspiration that gets us to ask ourselves what really matters in our own lives.
